Recipe For Chocolate Fudge Brownie Parcels

There is a company here in South Africa, called The Fudge Factory, and you can watch them churn out huge portions of various flavoured fudges. For our first Christmas together, and before I knew I was sucrose intolerant, Dave gave me some chocolate fudge as a gift. I munched my way through the entire piece and I must say I enjoyed every bite. Since then I’ve not had any fudge and was quite happy to see some sugar free fudge for sale at Wild Oats market in Sedgefield. I bought a block of chocolate fudge and it has sat in the cupboard patiently waiting for me to eat it! In a creative mood I decided to add it to some chocolate brownie mixture and use up some phyllo pastry I have lurking in the freezer. These Chocolate Fudge Brownie Parcels came out quite well in my opinion, even though they take some work.

Melt the butter and the dark chocolate over a bain-marie and mix until smooth

In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and sugar

Add the fudge and mix

Add the melted chocolate and stir well

Add the eggs and mix in until you have a silky consistency

Set aside to cool

for the parcels

Preheat the oven to 190° Celsius

Keep your phyllo pastry covered with a damp towel while working on one sheet at a time

With a sheet lengthwise to you, cut it in four along the shortest edge

Place a heaped teaspoon of brownie mixture at the bottom of the rectangular shaped pastry

Roll loosely around the mixture and seal with melted butter

Place onto your lined baking sheet and brush the top with melted butter

Repeat until you've used up all the mix

Bake for 15 minutes

Cool on a wire rack

My Notes

If you have had enough of rolling pastry you can place a square piece of pastry into a well-buttered muffin tin or dariole moulds - make sure to butter the edges as well, otherwise you won't be able to get them out easily. Butter the pastry and place another square in. Spoon in the brownie mixture and bake for 20 minutes.

Adorable!
Two weekends ago, I had my daughter’s Birthday party at home and had done a dessert table for the little girls. This would have been a perfect addition to the table. I will add this next time for sure. These are just too cute!!!
